Demolition of democracy!

In only a fitting symbolic gesture, the "democracy wall" was demolished by the Kathmandu Municipality. Imagine this happening if the democratic goverment was still intact. Further, FM radio stations are silenced. Nepalese are supposed to be entertained not informed. Any reasonable person can understand the king's hollow lip service to "restoration of democracy." Rights to information falls among the first rights of democratic citizen. The royals do not want the citizens to be informed--or question royal authority. Like Meyrowitz said secrecy and manipulation of information lies behind those in power. With informed citizens able to run democratic government, there will be no need for maintaining the "white elephant" of royals at the cost of $5.0 million every year. The unofficial cost is not even disclosed. Even the political partrities and their incompetent leaders have been supressign democracy, while they boast of their democratic ideals. The only democracy Nepal needs it at the community level with local participation. Viva federalism!
